TL;DR: In this paper, the molecular dynamics of the liquid crystal heptyloxycyanobiphenyl (7OCB) in the bulk as well as confined to 0.2μm diameter parallel cylindrical pores of Anopore ® membranes in the isotropic and nematic phases were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the phase diagram of the two-component system between two halomethanes, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and bromotrichloromethane (CBrCl3), has been determined by means of X-ray powder diffraction and thermal analysis techniques from 200 K to the liquid state.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an experimental study on the critical behaviour of the nematic-toisotropic (N-I) and smectic A-to-nematic (SmA-N) phase transitions of the liquid crystal 4-nonyloxy-4′-cyanobiphenyl (9OCB) liquid crystal.

TL;DR: In this paper, a stable phase diagram of the two-component system (heptyloxy)cyanobiphenyl (7OCB) + (octyloxy)-cyanogenobiphexyl (8OCB), which exhibits a monotropic reentrant nematic behavior was determined by means of modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC), optical microscopy, and X-ray diffraction measurements.

TL;DR: Broadband dielectric spectroscopy has been performed on the odd nonsymmetric liquid crystal dimers of the series α-(4-cyanobiphenyl- 4'-oxy)-ω-(1-pyreniminebenzylidene-4'-oxy) alkanes with n ranging from 3 to 11, as a function of temperature.
